In this Video , we talk about apatani tribe & Dree festival of Arunachal pradesh organised by Dree committee delhi on 29 june in New Delhi,
The literary meaning of ‘Dree’ is one who borrows or purchases food grains from others in order to meet the shortage by addition to one’s old and new stock of food grains.
Ever since the Apatanis have shifted to present Ziro valley, they have been upholding their traditions, cultures and customs with great pride. The mythology of the Apatanis speaks a volume about their culture, traditions, customs and rituals.
In olden days the Dree was observed on different days according to the convenience of the concerned 'Dree Goras' or 'Pontangs', - an organizing committee at village level. It could not be called as festival in true sense; rather it was a ritual performance of the Apatanis.
On the appointed day, after being dressed up as warriors, the priest along with his assistant recite incantations called ‘Dree Barni’ for a day sitting on the oldest clan community platform made of wood which is erected in every village known as ‘Lapang’. Lapang has both social and religious significance as people discuss social issues on it besides conducting important festivals. After the completion of the recital of the incantation, the priests goes around all the clans lapang along with sacrificial animals, fowls and eggs to the gods- Tamu, Metii and DanyiPiilo - the Sun and Moon God.
The purpose of the festival is to appease these gods so that famine could be avoided. The Apatanis are famous for their unique practice of wet rice cultivation. One would wonder as to how the early Apatanis had brilliantly discovered the magnificent irrigated rice without use of scientific technologies.
Rice is the staple food of the Apatanis, as such for its bumper harvest the nature God and goddesses are prayed during the Dree Festival from 4 to 7 July of each year. Apart from certain rituals dance, cultural program and Mr. and Mrs. Apatani contest also mark a grand celebration.
